The Maloney Street Over Clear Long Lake Canal reconstruction, a Local Agency project, involved a 23 ft. by 3 ft. three-sided concrete precast culvert and approach work over the Clear Long Lake Canal in Oakland County.

SME provided comprehensive construction engineering assistance and field inspection services, which included pile driving inspection and both field and laboratory testing, for the reconstruction of the Maloney Street Over Clear Long Lake Canal .

During the foundation work, SME’s team used a saximeter and blow count charts to verify the bearing capacity of the foundation piling. Field testing was performed on cast-in-place concrete placements, and the planned concrete quantity was compared to the as-constructed quantity.

Inspections were performed on the abutment backfill, approach work, and retaining wall operations.

SME also performed NPDES inspections, which received approval from the Michigan Department of Environment, Great Lakes, and Energy.
